2 years ago, we ran in our first election on June 7, 2016 in the Democratic Primary as a "write-in" candidate! We received 1,177 write-in votes! Pretty good for not being on the ballot and campaigning for 2 months.

1 year ago on April 4, 2017, we ran in our second election under the amazing Green Party and ended up placing 7th out of 24 candidates, beating 14 Democrats & ALL other party candidates (including the Republican, Libertarian, & Non-Partisan candidates). We were also 394 votes away from 4th place and spent the least amount of money per vote (meaning we had people power!).

With that being said, today, we have a new Congressman: another neoliberal Democrat who takes corporate money but rationalizes it's "okay" because he was endorsed by progressive groups and because of a simple progressive voting record.

But that's not good enough. People are hungry for real change. People are sick and tired of establishment politics and politicians accepting huge lump sums of money from the people/companies they're "supposedly" going to stand up against in office.

It is not good enough to just vote "right" or do something good every now and then. We need people who are willing to go above and beyond and help build a movement and push for revolutionary change. It's time for a REAL political revolution!

A political revolution where we don't compromise on our values, where we push for better, like cancelling student debt or a guaranteed basic income, and where we destroy the 2-party system, a system that has enslaved the working class and the masses to fill the pockets of the 1% for too long. It's time to give the people something NEW!

With that being said, we are planning on running against Jimmy Gomez, the new Congressional District 34 Congressman in the June 5, 2018 Primary under the Green Party.

We are not running because we want to, but because we have to. We are running because people are dying, literally, for real change, and guess what? The same old same is not working and has not been working. I would encourage anyone else with the right heart and mind to do the same in 2018!

If you know of anyone that would make an amazing Congress person for Los Angeles' Congressional District 34, please let me know ASAP and I would be happy to step aside, but only if that person runs Green.

In the meantime, let's get the ball rolling! Please sign up to volunteer below!

“We need unapologetic progressive millennials getting elected to office! Not afraid to fight for Democratic Socialist ideals to lift up the working class.”

“We need to fund the change we want to see. No corporate politics!”

“I endorse Kenneth Mejia because he is not beholden to corporate donors. He is funded by the people. With Kenneth in Congress, he will stand by the honorable Green Party platform. He has been working hard for years in his community, promoting social justice for the voiceless. His values are also my values. Thank you for all you do, Kenneth Mejia!”

“This country needs a party who cares about it and instead of a bunch of self-centered fat cats who sell us down the river continually!”

“I'm supporting Kenneth Mejia because we need progressives in Congress. I usually don't donate to Green party candidates not because I am afraid to vote third party. I vote third all the time. But I am always discouraged by the fact that most people vote lesser of two evils instead of voting their conscience which usually gives independents and green candidates no chance. So usually all my donations go to progressive democrats who are trying to take over the Democratic party. But in this case, people don't have to worry about it. It's one vs one, you don't have to worry about a republican getting elected... So you don't have an excuse this time. If Kenneth Mejia is elected it will create a lot of momentum for the green party and would not only grow as a Progressive party, but would force the Democrats to move left or lose their job. So this race is very important not only because of this district but also because of the implications it would have on the future of the country. This might be the most important race in the country.”

“People, Planet & Peace Over Profit. That's what Kenneth brings to the table and that's why endorse him for Congress.”

“✊”

“Kenneth Majia has a serious shot of making history. There's no concern about electing a Republican by voting third party, so the real progressive should be the obvious choice for anyone but a hardcore, loyal Blue partisan. Let's help Majia make history.”

“Green Party, bringing truth and good integrity back to politics!”

“Kenneth is the most qualified, fiscally responsible candidate in the race for the 34th Congressional District. I endorse him because he helped me re-register after I was knocked off the voters roll because I registered as a Green. Bern Green Kenneth! All the way to Congress just like Jimmy Stewart did in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".”

We have 116 days left until the November 6, 2018, General Election. I'm emailing all our supporters to see if you can help us with a very small and DOABLE task to help us win.

I wanted to ask if you can commit to helping our campaign by securing just 10 votes over the next 4 months? So just 10 votes over the next 110+ days. Our goal is 10,000 Nationwide volunteers, with each volunteer securing just 10 votes.

You can help secure votes by:

Canvassing (knocking on doors if you live in Los Angeles),

Phonebanking (from anywhere and even out of state), and/or

Reaching out to friends in the district to vote for us (we would need their first and last name to see if they're in the voter file).

If 10,000 people like yourself can convert 10 voters into supporters, we will easily beat the corporate-sponsored Democrat who currently votes on behalf of the donors he has accepted money from - including CCA (the 2nd largest private prison), Monsanto, Big Pharma, predatory health insurers and student loan debt collectors, major developers who are driving entire communities out of their homes, and many others (but not you). Sign up atMejia4Congress.com/volunteer to volunteer and we'll contact you today!

Please also considerdonatinga small portion to our campaign. With your generosity, we have been able to get campaign voter data, a campaign headquarters, campaign material, and reimbursements for meals and more for our volunteers. We are almost close to $50,000 raised so please chip in a small amount to help us keep going! Donate here!

You can always email me at kennethmejiaforcongress@gmail.com for any questions!

“Kenneth's commitment to people, planet, and peace is uncompromised! Congressman Kenneth Mejia is For The People, Not Corporations!”

“Believe it and we can make it happen. Kenneth can lead the way.”

“Kennith is a true warrior for the everyday people of this country. He is endlessly fighting for healthcare, living wages, environmental rights and many more issues that I hold dear to me. Keep on fighting for us!”

“Kenneth is exactly who we need in Congress. An honest representative of the people, he will fight for the 99%.”

“I haven't met a more determined and selfless person trying to truly make a change for Everyone.”

“It is time for a sea change to save ourselves. We the People need the Greens in Congress. They will make the effective changes necessary to get rid of corporate progressivism that for example has given us no reduction in climate destabilizing gases, trillions spent on illegal wars and militarism, making waste of our commons and disrespecting the rights of humans both here and abroad.”
